SQL Error: Unique Constraint Failed...but I haven't entered any values

I'm in the Creating and Modifying Database Tables course working on this challenge:

We're starting a rock collectors club! Can you create a 'members' table with the following columns: id, first_name, last_name, and favorite_rock. Also, make sure we only allow unique ids.

I'm entering:

CREATE TABLE MEMBERS (

ID SMALLINT primary key,

first_name VARCHAR(255),

last_name VARCHAR(255),

favorite_rock VARCHAR(255)

);

...and I get the error "SQL Error: UNIQUE constraint failed: MEMBERS.ID" A thread in StackOverflow is telling me that this is happening because I'm entering duplicate values in the primary key column, but I haven't entered any values. What's going on here?

Sorry! I did a better search and I see that this question is malfunctioning. I'll send to Support.
